"I have come to the conclusion that when people start off a sentence with "You know," they're trying to take the edge off of unsettling news. Think about it.

Although she initially didn't have success, she did discover a multitude of major flaws in the police documentation system; where many less than obscure events had little to no documentation in immediate view. Preceding this however, she learned the nature of the charges brought up against her father, including drunkenness, robbery, and resisting arrest; a series of crimes that she would never have expected her father to commit. This stunned her as she tried to piece together and realize her actual past.
